Past Participant's Testimonies
From "Adam"
 
Our trip was incredible though - a real eye-opener for Micah and Manda.  Actually, Micah adapted so well it made me very proud of the little guy.  After delivering medicines and nutrition food to a church as required, he ran around with his shirt off, chased chickens, adored every stray cat and dog, ate and loved the food, was incredibly patient as we faced all the usual travails...in other words I think he might actually be Cuban!  Manda also enjoyed the hospitality and ingenuity of the Cubans.  While traveling between churches we got to travel around a bit and see some interesting countryside, we went to some museums and saw some sights like the cannon firing ceremony at the Moorish fortress...it was a good trip.
 
We are truly grateful for the opportunity to take this unique trip and assist in your efforts with the medicine program.  Hopefully our associa-tion will continue into the future and we can continue to benefit your worthy cause.

Thank the Lord for a new organization called the ”Evangelical Christian Humanitarian Outreach.”  This group has included us under their license from Washington to permit us to re-enter Cuba to take medicines to the needy and to help their program with the needy and the society.  As I understand it, there were numerous missionaries who were shut out of Cuba.  I do not understand the laws of our country or theirs very well, but I know I just returned from 15 days in Cuba.  My responsibility was to drop off certain medical supplies at a specific address in Cuba, and then I was free to visit our churches as usual.
 
Changes, changes, and changes…Cuba’s immigration and custom laws have changed and this could be good.  I could hardly believe what was happening as I breezed thru immigration and customs with NO questions being asked about anything.  What a transformation!  Praise the Lord!

Hi Vanessa,  It was a GREAT trip.  I was interviewed for about 15-20 minutes upon my arrival and was questioned extensively about the purpose of my trip and was asked repeatedly about how many times I had come there.  I am pretty sure however, that all this was related to the camera equipment I had with me rather than anything else.  I had bought as a gift, a very nice camera with an extra zoom lens and was taking it with me to give to a Peruvian friend who was going to be in Cuba at the same time we were.  After quizzing me for a while, they asked me to open my carry-on and they took out the camera equipment and inspected it, took a lot of notes about it and then told me to "pass".  The others in this group were only asked if this was their first trip to Cuba (for one of them it was and for the other it was the 4th) and they were asked what was the purpose of the trip and they said (tourist) and they were passed without further questions.    We delivered the vitamins and the computers you sent to me along with a lot of other vitamins and meds and other resources.
 
The whole trip home was without questions other than things like "How was your trip?" in Havana.    We went through Cancun and the transit in the Mexican airport was easy.  Upon arrival in the U.S., we were asked no questions and were not asked for our licenses. 
 
Thanks for your help with the logistics AND for your prayers for us.  God blessed us in a mighty way and used us to bless others.  All trip goals were accomplished.  If you need more information, let me know.  I think I'll have another group for January.  I'll let you know as soon as they confirm.  Bendiciones,  Pepe
